Cannot execute files on one server

[Petri Asikainen]

I have strange problem, when I boot from by dos bootdisk. DOS client can
read files from all servers. ("z:\type filename.bat" works)
But when trying to execute any file on _one_ server (z:\filename.bat or
f:\login\map.exe etc... ) client freezes and time outs.

Windows NT and 2000 clients can read and execute files from that server.
And all other seervers are working fine. All servers are at same patch
level.

Any suggestions?

Petri,

Could you tell me what client type and version you are using under DOS?
Also, what NetWare version is your server running?

Netware 5.1 sp6 with latest tcpip/filesystem patch.
I dont remember client version and cannot check it right now.
I used latest "server ipconnectivity kit" from novell to create disk.
Client is created with following files:

hmm.. file dates are propably mixed somehow, but hopefully size
information helps.

disk worked before, just couple of months ago with all servers.

Well, I can't really see what the problem might be in that case.
Maybe you would have to take a packet trace between the workstation and
the server to see what really went wrong.

Yes, I'll be back, when I get trace.
